  • the comparator 24 can control additional components of the charging circuit 10. For example, the comparator 24 can inhibit operation of the charging circuit 10 based on the current drawn by the portable electronic device 11. Thus, if the current drawn by the portable electronic device 11 is too high for the components of the charging circuit 10, the comparator 24 will output a signal to cease oscillation of the oscillator 22 and effectively shut down the charging circuit 10.
  • the comparator 24 may be coupled to a second reference voltage to prevent the current drawn by the portable electronic device 11 from exceeding a predetermined threshold.

  • a user connects the electronic device 11 to the port 13 of the charging circuit 10 to charge the device 11.
  • the control circuit 16 determines when the electronic device 11 is coupled to the charging circuit 10. After the electronic device 11 recognizes the charging circuit 10 as a suitable charging circuit, the control circuit 16 (specifically, the comparator 24) outputs a signal to hold the power switch 14 in the closed state so that the electronic device 11 I draws current from the power supply 12. If the current drawn by the electronic device 11 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the control circuit 16 (specifically, the comparator 24) outputs a signal to cease operation of the charging circuit 10. Alternatively, if the sync switch 56 is closed, the electronic device 11 syncs with the host device 58 and charges through the power switch 14, regardless of the output from the control circuit 16.
  • Fig. 2 is a timing diagram depicting operation of the charging circuit 10.
  • the timing diagram may be different depending on the type of multivibrator or oscillator used in the control circuit 16.
  • the timing diagram corresponds to an embodiment where the oscillator 22 is an astable multivibrator.
  • the electronic device 11 is not coupled to the port 13.
  • the comparator 24 outputs the Lo signal (logic "0") so that the power switch 14 is in the open state, the sync switch 56 is open, and the port 13 receives 0 volts from the power supply 12.
  • Time 1 depicts when the electronic device 11 is coupled to the port 13. During this time, the sync switch 56 is still open, but the electronic device 11 is performing an identification procedure with the charging circuit 10.
  • the comparator 24 outputs the Hi signal (logic "1") so that the power switch 14 oscillates between the open state and the closed state.
  • the port 13 alternately receives 0 volts and 5 volts from the power supply 12 (i.e., the port 13 receives 0 volts when the power switch 14 is in the open state and receives 5 volts when the power switch 14 is in the closed state).
  • Time 2 depicts when the electronic device 11 recognizes the charging circuit 10 as a suitable circuit for charging. That is, the voltage from the current-to-voltage converter 26 is higher than the reference voltage 28 so that the comparator outputs the Lo signal (logic "0") to the oscillator 22.
  • the sync switch 56 remains open, and the power switch 14 is held in the closed state. As such, the port 13 receives 5 volts from the power supply 12 to charge the connected electronic device 11.
  • Time 3 depicts when the sync switch 56 is closed. During this time, the sync switch 56 outputs a signal to the oscillator 22 to inhibit the oscillator 22 (and, thereby, the power switch 14) from oscillating. The power switch 14 remains in the closed state so that the port 13 receives 5 volts from the power supply 12. Thus, during Time 3, the electronic device 11 syncs with the host device 58 and, if necessary, charges.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates another charging circuit 100 for charging the portable electronic device 11.
  • the charging circuit 100 includes similar components as the charging circuit 10 shown in Fig. 1 , and like parts have been given the same reference numbers.

  • Each resistor network 63 e.g., resistor network 1 through resistor network N
  • the multiplexer 64 cycles through the different resistor networks 63 until the appropriate resistor network 63 is identified by the connected device 11.
  • the output from the current-to-voltage converter 26 becomes larger than the reference voltage 28 such that the comparator 24 outputs the Lo signal (logic "0") to the oscillator 22 to hold the power switch 14 in the closed state.
  • the illustrated multiplexer 64 is coupled to the oscillator 22 such that the multiplexer 64 cycles through the resistor networks 63 concurrently with the power switch 14 oscillating between the open and closed states. For example, each time the power switch 14 switches to the open state, a counter within the multiplexer 64 increases by one to move on to the next resistor network 63. When the power switch 14 then switches back to the closed state, the next resistor network 63 in the series is coupled to the port 13 through the multiplexer 64.
  • a manual switch may be used to connect the appropriate resistor network 63 to the electronic device 11 for recognition by the electronic device 11.
  • the manual switch may be actuated by a user to cycle through the resistor networks 63.
  • the manual switch may include a rotary dial, one or more pushbuttons, a toggle switch, or the like, such that different positions of the manual switch correspond to different resistor networks 63.
